morzone 5 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hello, I'm new from the southern half of Michigan. I recently built my first sound system back in 2018 after acquiring my first AVR (Denon AVR-X1400h). I ended up scoring a used Canton GLE 455.2, Diamond Audio Macdaddy 12.8 12" DVC HEX, and some icky Sony tower speakers which have recently been replaced by a pair of Dahlquist QX-5A. I'm pretty happy with my 3.1 stereo and frankly see no need for 5.1 for the moment. I have been really into used speakers and equipment. I simply love the fact that a speaker can be 10+ years old, sell for 20% of its value, yet sound better or as good as things that would cost you 2x or 3x more. While I don't own a craver product, I have seen them floating around within auction sites, and am certainly interested in vintage speakers & tech. That said, I'm glad to be here!

Brian_at_HHH 2,609 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Welcome to the group! You are definitely in a bit of a Carver hot spot in that area, so you are very well placed - you will most likely find yourself acquiring something Carver before you know it. Nice system and some very nice upgrades happening. Yes, playing with used speakers is a fantastic way to discover what sounds best, and at a far lower price than buying anything new. Speakers, unless abused, can hold their own surprisingly well through a long lifetime. Like with the speakers, Carver components can be an amazing way to really up your system at a very good price, and since they are usually so very update-able, they have a good long life ahead - especially compared to today's throw-away systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
